How about, instead of copy/pasting into gedit, you copy the original file, from the original source and try it on that? Not copy-paste, get the file itself. Copy-pasting is likely where the change is likely happening. Character sets might be getting changed slightly(or maybe you have a different character set than me), whitespace mangled. (things like tabs get copy/pasted as spaces, usually.) Especially copy-pasting from a web browser tends to eat multiple spaces.

OK, I've used various versions of UNIX(Solaris, HPUX, etc..) over the years. Now the organization I work for is leaning towards more Linux based systems(Redhat, Suse, etc..)
I do see differences in in comands and how to accomplish basic adminstration, but nothing mind blowing.
So, what is it... (5 Replies)

To make it easier, i gave following example. It is not homework or classwork. Instead, i have a huge csv file dump from tsql with 15 columns and around 300 rows. I was able to extract content that needs to be really converted. Here is the extract:
ES FP,B1ES FP,70000,I,SL22,SL22 (70000)

look
LOOK(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOOK(1)NAME
look -- display lines beginning with a given string
SYNOPSIS
look [-dfa] [-t termchar] string [file]
DESCRIPTION
The look utility displays any lines in file which contain string as a prefix. As look performs a binary search, the lines in file must be
sorted (where sort(1) got the same options -d and/or -f that look is invoked with).
If file is not specified, the file /usr/share/dict/words is used, only alphanumeric characters are compared and the case of alphabetic char-
acters is ignored.
Options:
-d Dictionary character set and order, i.e. only alphanumeric characters are compared. (On by default if no file specified).
-f Ignore the case of alphabetic characters. (On by default if no file specified).
-a Use the alternate dictionary /usr/share/dict/web2
-t Specify a string termination character, i.e. only the characters in string up to and including the first occurrence of termchar are
compared.
The look utility exits 0 if one or more lines were found and displayed, 1 if no lines were found, and >1 if an error occurred.
FILES
/usr/share/dict/words the dictionary
/usr/share/dict/web2 the alternate dictionary
SEE ALSO grep(1), sort(1)COMPATIBILITY
The original manual page stated that tabs and blank characters participated in comparisons when the -d option was specified. This was incor-
rect and the current man page matches the historic implementation.
HISTORY
Look appeared in Version 7 AT&T Unix.
AVAILABILITY
The look command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
